For most businesses and their owners, the time comes when there is a need for a Merger or Acquisition transaction or for non-bank financing. Whether the owner is looking to retire, the economic climate changes, or a strategic decision is made as to the future direction of their firm, buying, selling, consolidating, and change are options that need to be professionally managed.

When considering a merger, acquisition, sale or investment, one will invariably ask the following questions:

1. How much is the company really worth and how can I determine the value?

2. Will we have enough time and expertise to find a buyer, negotiate the deal, facilitate the transaction, negotiate terms, create the financial structure and continue to run and grow our business until closing?

3. What strategies can be employed now, to increase the value of the business?

4. What are the important legal, tax and structural implications which one should be aware of and need to discuss with our advisory firm and advisors?

THESE ARE TOUGH QUESTIONS. How successful and profitable a merger, acquisition, sale, divesture or private investment is will depend on the answers to these, and many other questions.
